The Kooks are an archetypal British guitar band, a bunch of musicians who have never shied away from their roots.
Inspired by The Who, Ray Davies, Blur and plenty more, the band's output is a heady brew of the personal and the universal.
New project 'Hello, What's Your Name?' flips this on its head, however. Due for release on December 4th, the tracklisting features a raft of big names and newcomers, spanning the full gamut of electronic innovation.
Amorphous Androgynous, Atlas Genius, DJ Pierre and plenty more have been let loose on The Kooks' katalogue, with Clash able to stream something rather special.
Kove is on the cusp of a breakthrough, with the British producer already boasting a smattering of Top 40 hits. An in-demand producer, DJ and remixer, the artist has been let loose on 'Are We Electric'.
Retaining that glorious vocal the producer filters through some entrancing electronic sounds – check it out below.
